Note:

• To collect and assemble the breakdown of homelessness funding by initiative would require considerable resources.

• Breakdown by cohort has been provided back to 2016-17.

• Prior to these years, funding was provided through SAAP- a different Commonwealth model, and some programs under cohorts have ceased, and others commenced.

• Service Funding Agreements, with funding amounts are posted here https://www.procurement.act.gov.au/contracts

5. Unmet demand for homelessness services for all people in the ACT is not directly measured. The Report on Government Services provides a proxy measure taken from the Specialist Homelessness Services data collection. For clients of Specialist Homelessness Services, unmet demand for homelessness services is defined as the proportion of clients who do not receive specialist homelessness services that they need using two broad service types — accommodation services and services other than accommodation.

Unmet need for accommodation is measured by the number of clients with an identified need for short-term or emergency accommodation or medium-term/transitional housing or long-term housing who were not provided with or referred for these services (although they may have received other types of services), divided by the number of clients who had a need for short term or emergency accommodation or medium-term/transitional housing or long-term housing. Unmet need for services other than accommodation is measured by the number of clients with an identified need for at least one service other than accommodation (and no need for accommodation services) who were not provided with or referred for a service other than accommodation, divided by the number of clients who had a need for at least one service other than accommodation (and no need for accommodation services).
